OVERVIEW

The goal of the WWE App with WWE Network is twofold: to provide a best-in-class entertainment platform for more than 1.2 million WWE Network subscribers to watch 24/7-streaming, original programming, and to also deliver free, multimedia-rich content such as breaking news, video playlists and photo galleries, fed immediately from WWE.com right into the palm of the WWE Universe.

WWE has created a new way to engage fans with an extraordinary value proposition by strategically delivering WWE's premium live content directly to fans in 170 countries with WWE Network, the first-ever 24/7 direct-to-consumer network delivered directly to fans through over-the-top digital distribution.

In 2015, the WWE digital team tackled the ambitious goal of creating a seamless dual-gateway in order to accomplish both purposes, with one entry point specifically for WWE Network subscribers, and one entry point for all WWE fans to consume the latest content.

It became easier than ever for fans to stay tapped into the pulse of the WWE Universe with a completely redesigned WWE App home screen for smartphones and tablets. In addition to accessing a seemingly endless feed of WWE videos, news and thousands of photos, fans also use the WWE App as an exclusive portal to WWE Network – a 24/7 streaming service with both scheduled programming and a massive, on-demand video library.

The official WWE App is available for the following devices: Android smartphones and tablets, Apple iPad®, iPhone®, iPad® Mini and Kindle Fire.

STRATEGY AND IMPLEMENTATION

Check out the new reality series and live shows that arrived on WWE Network this fall.

The WWE Digital Team aimed to create a stellar user experience by remaining laser-focused on UX/UI throughout the process of developing the enhanced WWE App. It was crucial for us to ensure that WWE fans could effortlessly navigate back and forth from WWE Network streaming video to WWE.com’s digital content offerings through an intuitive multi-tabbed design.

With a simple swipe, WWE App users can scroll through a feed of the latest content from WWE.com, or quickly navigate to WWE Network’s linear feed and nearly 3,000 hours of video-on-demand.

Part of the WWE App, WWE Network is the first-ever 24/7 direct-to-consumer network delivered to fans through over-the-top digital distribution. Featuring all 12 WWE live pay-per-view events, WWE Network features groundbreaking original programming, reality shows, documentaries, classic matches and much, much more. The overall success of the WWE App helped pave the way to a 79% year-over-year growth in WWE Network total subscribers – now at more than 1.3 million and counting.

One of the WWE App’s other integral sections is the WWE Events browser, which allows fans to explore WWE’s full schedule of events around the globe, find out which Superstars will be in action, set reminders, and even order tickets with just a few taps from their smartphone or tablet.

The WWE App also provides instant access to WWE fans’ favorite Superstars, Divas and Legends, with vibrant profiles that include extensive career milestones, biographies, video highlights and Twitter feeds. If they want to outfit themselves like their favorite Superstars, WWE fans then have the opportunity to order official merchandise through the integrated WWE Shop experience.

Furthermore, the WWE App’s users were granted the ability to cast votes to determine the actual content of programming in real time. This happened on numerous occasions in 2015, the most noteworthy of which was The Slammy Awards, WWE’s annual, televised awards ceremony.

During the program on USA Network (aired on Dec. 21, 2015), users voted in real-time on the WWE App to determine the winner in each and every category. Award winners were announced on stage during the live program, mere moments after WWE App votes were tallied throughout the night.
